My wife was saying how Transformers tend to be sports cars which is not the best disguise since they aren't as common and are rather flashy. Now, from a design perspective, 2 doors is easier to handle to turn into a robot but I am curious as to which ones out there turn into 4 door vehicles.

I can think of the following:

Aveo Swerve
Movie Crankcase/Crowbar toys
RID X Brawn
MP Ironhide

What other toys are like that?

binaltech/alternators skids/blaster? not sure if it was based on a three or five door scion (or why they call boots a door, or why they call boots boots, or trunks...).

Gobots tux comes to mind as well despite him not being a transformer.

You're right, Skids is 4 doors (forgot since the g1 is 2 doors). And yeah, I know Tux, the dandiest gobot around!

Alternators Skids is modeled after Scion XB which is 4 doors but his transformation leaves him with rear doors ob his legs and 2 door wings

Same for Alternators Smokescreen, his rear doors are molded shut
